BERKS CO. (WOLF) — A small aircraft was forced to land on a busy stretch of highway in Berks County Saturday morning, causing significant traffic delays.
Officials say the single-engine plane touched down on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 78 near Exit 45, in the area of New Smithville, about 15 miles from Allentown.
Two people were on board at the time of the incident, but neither was hurt.
Emergency crews temporarily shut down the eastbound lanes while they responded and investigated, leading to backups in the area. Authorities later removed the plane, allowing traffic to resume.
